The momentum of effective administration and constitutional self-government built up under the colonial regime should tide the country over such difficulties as may emerge in the first years of independence, and the move towards economic development is at least spottily under way. It must, however, be very much speeded and expanded if it is to absorb the flood of youngsters pouring from the primary schools, educated to a distaste for return...
Illinois: Chicago's Cook County cradles half the state's votes, and Mayor Richard Daley's Democratic machine is purring at peak efficiency. Downstate, the Republican tide is at low ebb. G.O.P.

At flood tide, more than 4,000,000 members in 10,000 Townsend clubs gave the lanky, mesmeric country doctor immense political power, and their contributions, in a river of nickels and dimes, flowed in at the rate...
...money. Among the Barbarians. Producing the screen version of A Raisin in the Sun for Columbia Pictures. Susskind makes it clear to all Hollywood that he is an East Coast messiah. Tossing off remarks about filmland's Gomorrah atmosphere, its chronic fearfulness. its tendency "to run with the tide." he sits in self-imposed isolation at one end of the long table in Columbia's executive dining room and baits the mighty.
